Nastasia D. Married on 06/12/2022Best venue for your wedding!!
The most gorgeous venue with the best views! Not only was the place beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is amazing. Jordan was great to work with and always made me feel comfortable and made me laugh throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the staff were impeccable. Everything was more perfect than I could have even imagined. It’s also very reasonably priced compared to other wedding venues and 100% worth it. 10/10 recommend!!! -

Melanie V. Married on 02/18/2022Amazing Venue!
When we saw Rusty Pelican for the first time, we knew immediately it was where we wanted to do our reception. They offer the best views in Miami and not to mention their ballrooms are very spacious and beautiful. Rusty Pelican offered several packages including linens, cake, chairs, and food/beverages. This was a must for us since we did not live in Miami anymore. The day of our wedding, Rusty Pelican had outstanding service and the food was great. We had endless compliments all night! Thank you to Jordan and rest of the staff for an incredible experience. Look no further, Rusty Pelican is the best venue!-

The staff, the food, the view! Everything about this venue is amazing. I love working here. They are all beyond helpful and courteous. It is truly a privilege to work here.
The past month I had a wonderful opportunity to film an emotional and intimate, but exceptional wedding at the Rusty Pelican. And I will admit after filming weddings for a while now I thought nothing could surprise me. I was, however, gladly mistaken! Rusty Pelican blew my mind away with breathtaking waterfront views of Miami framed by spectacular floor to ceiling glass windows, modern and chic décor, tufted and elegant furniture, and extravagant chandeliers and light fixtures it was a true fairy tale setting for a lovely couple, who had the best day of their lives! I am extremely happy to add Rusty Pelican to one of my most loved venues as it is a true Florida gem and a must for your perfect day! RIMAS FILMS cannot recommend Rusty Pelican highly enough!
